I have to choose which fabrics I will use for the border of this new piece. Any suggestions? The flower fabric material may fit more with the rest of the fabrics but is very traditional. The dotted green, gold and plum one sure is more fun/funky. Would embellishments of yellow french knots all along the green insets make it work better? Seeing the pictures helps me see that the yellow isn't necessary! That is good to discover! By the way the green cross insets and the plum surrounding the squares is fabric I made in class with Claire Benn and Leslie

This next picture is of some photo copy's that I am going to send off to have a thermo fax screen made from. When I use the thermo fax screen to print from, the color will come through where ever you see black now. I will be able to add color using all these different textures or take off color by screening with formosol. I am actually sending off 8 items so you'll have to stay tuned to see what other fun textures I can add and take away from fabric.....I am getting ready to place a big order for my birthday of fabric dye and assorted creative items from Pro Chem. Waiting, waiting wont' be long until I am 50!
Getting back into the studio after a long break - Even if it is one day a week that will keep the juices flowing. I didn't get to my writing goals today, but maybe tomorrow.

I like the bottom but - maybe - minus the yellow. This piece has a lot of movement and vibrant color. Looks really good.
I'm glad I inspire you a bit. I try to make some art every day. I think always keeping our hands in it (so to speak) helps the ideas to flow and aids in finding an individual artistic voice.
After my class with Leslie and Claire I got unblocked in a big way. I can now see the path and I am almost able to do a bit of art every day at least I am thinking about it. Working full time and trying to finish up my seminary degree slow me down. After I graduate in May I should be able to work on art a lot more. Thanks for checking me out!
